The call was quickly picked up. Huo Zirui thought he was calling because of Gu Ruochu's photo. He spoke lazily. "Have you seen the photo? Look at the green grass above your head! What do you plan to do now? Do you want to forgive her? I've already told you, a good-for-nothing like Gu Ruochu..."
"Huo Zirui, where were you tonight?"
Huo Zirui was stunned. He did not expect Huo Nanchen to ask him that question. Shouldn't he have been asking about Gu Ruochu and that man?
"Nothing much. I was just out to see a friend."
"You were out to see a friend? Why did you interfere with the land in the north of the city? You don't need to interfere with my business with Gu Ruochu. Let me tell you, if you cause trouble for her, you're causing trouble for me. Whoever you gave the land in the north of the city to, you better make them spit it out for me! If you can't, don't ever go home again!"
"Brother, you..."
Huo Zirui hung up the phone with a thud. He did not even have the chance to finish his sentence. His expression was dark as he lifted his leg and kicked the coffee table in front of him to the ground.
"What happened? Did you get scolded?"
"My brother is still protecting that woman!"
Huo Zirui stood up from the sofa with a dark expression and went downstairs.
Upon seeing him, a smile appeared on Huo Jingjing's face as she ran towards him. "Second brother, why are you here?"
Huo Zirui glanced at Huo Jingjing as she wrapped her arms around him. His eyes were filled with tenderness and affection.
"Second Young Master Huo."
Gu Yanwei greeted Huo Zirui generously. She had known that he was on the third floor since the very beginning. Otherwise, how could Huo Jingjing possibly snatch the piece of land from Gu Ruochu's hands?
"Yanwei, long time no see."
Gu Yanwei had always been dignified, elegant, and beautiful. She was the type that he admired.
"Jingjing, you don't have to wait anymore. Big Brother won't give you the money for the land in the north of the city."
"Why?" Huo Jingjing was confused. She used loved bidding for things and her big brother had always given her the money.
Huo Zirui felt a headache coming on. "Good girl, there's no point in you wanting this piece of land anyway. Today, you've won back your place in front of Gu Ruochu. Why don't you just give this piece of land to her?"
Huo Jingjing thought about it and felt that her brother was right. Hadn't she helped Gu Yanwei to make things difficult for Gu Ruochu today?
They still had a way to deal with Gu Ruochu anyway. When the time came, her reputation would be ruined.
As soon as Huo Zirui said this, Gu Yanwei understood what had happened. She slowly withdrew the smile on her face. Gu Ruochu had probably complained to Huo Nanchen by now.
Huo Nanchen had always been protective of his own shortcomings. Even if he did not love Gu Ruochu, he would never let her suffer publicly.
"Jingjing, forget it."
Seeing that Gu Yanwei was also advising her to forget it, Huo Jingjing pursed her lips and said, "Since Yanwei has told me to let it go, I won't hold a grudge against someone with no status. Sister Yanwei, when will you start to truly think about yourself."
"I know that you're doing this for my own good. It's just that there are some things that we can't rush." Gu Yanwei's lips curled into a smile when she saw how Huo Jingjing worried about her.
'Gu Ruochu, I still have a hundred ways to deal with you. I'll make your life a living hell.'
"..."
Back at the office, Huo Nanchen put down the phone.
"How is it? Are You satisfied?" He suddenly stood up from behind his desk. As soon as he stood up, his large shadow suddenly cast over her, bringing with it an oppressive and gloomy aura.
